The Best Of Mike Peters And The Alarm by Mike Peters, The Alarm - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

The Best of the Alarm & Mike Peters is a generous collection, containing 16 of the Alarm's standards plus four solo cuts from their leader, Mike Peters. All of the group's hits and best album tracks are here, making this an excellent choice for either the curious or the casual fan. [Capitol reissued the collection in 2006 as the Best of the Alarm to promote two new singles, "45 R.P.M." and "Superchannel," both of which appeared on the re-organized anthology.]
